Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday reportedly want Chuks Aneke.
According to TEAMtalk, Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers are in the race to sign Milton Keynes Dons attacker Chuks Aneke on a free transfer.
Aneke, 25, came up through the Arsenal ranks, but after a series of loan spells and even a stint in Belgium with Zulte Waregem, he’s really found a home with MK Dons, starring their League Two promotion campaign last season.
Aneke hit 17 league goals and 19 in all competitions last season, adding three assists too, and MK Dons have allegedly offered him a new deal given that he becomes a free agent in a matter of weeks.
The attacker is now thought to have interest from a host of Championship clubs, with Barnsley, Hull City, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan Athletic all keen, whilst Portsmouth of League One are interested too.
A move to another League One club seems unlikely given that MK Dons will be in the third tier again next season, but jumping up to the Championship will be hugely tempting.
Aneke has never played in the Championship, and having emerged as a big, physical centre forward in recent years, he may feel it’s time to test himself in the second tier.
Wednesday have released Gary Hooper, and Steve Bruce may be looking to add Aneke as a cheap option to challenge Steven Fletcher, Lucas Joao and Atdhe Nuhiu in the Owls attack.
A move to QPR would certainly make sense. They’re unlikely to be big spenders, but they need striking options having lost loanees Nahki Wells and Tomer Hemed, whilst it would also be a return to London for Aneke – meaning a move to Loftus Road may be ideal for all.
